Update: I just discovered that there is already a knot called the Bull Hitch. I’ll have to figure out a new name.

In any case, this hitch is much easier to tie than it looks from the diagram. Here’s how I tie it:

Form a bight and loop it around behind the object you’re hitching to. Pull the working end up through the bight. Taking the working end around behind the standing part, and then under the left leg of the original bight, and finally ruck it under the right leg of the original bight. To untie, undo the last two tucks and the whole thing falls apart.

I don’t know about lasting knot fame, but it’s a hitch I find useful, and my seven year old daughter can tie it with her eyes closed.

Does this tool work for anyone with Windows 8.1?
When I create the most minimal example and try to “Save as” instead of a pathselectiondialog i just get an errormessage that the path has an invalid format…

However this error does not occur if i load a knot, edit it and try to save it as… so in general i can use the program with some workarounds

************** JIT-Debuggen **************
Um das JIT-Debuggen (Just-In-Time) zu aktivieren, muss in der
Konfigurationsdatei der Anwendung oder des Computers
(machine.config) der jitDebugging-Wert im Abschnitt system.windows.forms festgelegt werden.
Die Anwendung muss mit aktiviertem Debuggen kompiliert werden.

Zum Beispiel:

Wenn das JIT-Debuggen aktiviert ist, werden alle nicht behandelten
Ausnahmen an den JIT-Debugger gesendet, der auf dem
Computer registriert ist, und nicht in diesem Dialogfeld behandelt.
